colisionaron

Colisionaron is a Spanish verb form that expresses a past event in which two or more bodies came into contact with force. It is the third-person plural pretérito perfecto simple (simple past) of the verb colisionar, meaning “they collided.” The form is used to narrate incidents where a collision occurred, such as traffic accidents, impacts in sports, or interactions in physical processes.

Usage and meaning

Colisionar denotes a physical impact or crash resulting from two or more objects moving toward one another. The term is common in formal or technical contexts, including news reports, scientific descriptions of particle interactions, and safety analyses. In everyday speech, synonyms like chocar or pegar may be used, but colisionaron specifically emphasizes a collision event in the past.

Conjugation and morphology

Colisionaron is produced from the regular -ar verb colisionar by adding the standard pretérito simple endings for third-person plural: -aron. The related forms include colisiono (I/you/formal he or she? not applicable), colisionaste, colisionó, colisionamos, colisionasteis, and colisionaron. The root is colision-.

Etymology

The word colisionar derives from the noun colisión, which itself comes from Latin collisio (from collidere, to strike together). The Spanish noun and verb share the same origin, with the sense extended to describe the act or result of a crash. The term has analogous forms in other languages, such as the English collision and the French collision.
